What? I think it is a high quality pub (that I mostly disagree with) so I object to it being called a rag. I’m not objecting to the use of adjectives or non-objective descriptors writ large and I have no idea where you got that idea. "Rag" is a word we typically use for publications like NYPost, not an article by a research fellow at a think-tank. I suspect the usage here is motivated by political animus.
